Gases and vapours in passing into a liquid state evolve the so-called latent heat, which also proves to be in connection with the molecular weight.
As the cohesion of aqueous particles varies at different temperatures, the quantity of heat which is expended in overcoming this cohesion--or the latent heat of evaporation--will for this reason alone be different at different temperatures.
Black to evince the existance of combined or latent heat in bodies, as has been explained by some of his pupils, and well illustrated by Dr.
We are again without the bridge from the static to the dynamic and if latent heat, so called, is up to the present a stumbling block to the theory we can recognise a lack which may be denied in the cosmic process.
But what about the mechanical theory of heat and of latent heat which is a "stumbling block" in the path of the theory?
Latent heat is therefore not dissipated, it is merely transformed and has taken on the form of molecular elasticity.
Latent heat is therefore by no means an obstacle in the way of the mechanical theory of heat.
The water does not draw the frost from the plants, but before it can freeze it must give out one hundred and forty degrees of latent heat.
Some principle of latent heat involved, I believe.
That fact was the existence of latent heat, the original discoverer of which was Watt's intimate friend, Professor Black.
In general, such rearrangement is accompanied by a sudden change in some physical property and in the total energy of the molecule, which is evidenced by a spontaneous evolution or absorption of latent heat.
All things contain a vast quantity of latent heat; but, as much as 1140 deg.
By liberatinglatent heat from the air and fuel: and 2ndly--By throwing into rapid motion the atoms of matter.
Because the flame liberates latent heat from the air and tallow: and 2ndly--It throws into rapid motion the atoms of matter.
It assumes that moisture is evaporated and held in the atmosphere by latent heat, which is given out during condensation, and actually warms the surrounding atmosphere.
The theory was ingenious, founded on the theory of Dalton, that the vapor was maintained in the atmosphere by reason of a large quantity of latent heat, which was given out when condensation took place.
How unphilosophical, too, to talk of latent heat in connection with evaporation, at the lowest temperature known.
But touching this question of latent heat, you may ask me for my proof that there is latent heat, and a large amount of it, in a substance that feels perfectly cold.
Nevertheless, I fear that there is in all such cases a proportional assumption of latent heat; but be it tried though it be beginning a new series of vexations and expense.
His fame rests on the discovery of Latent Heat, and he seems to have been the first to apply hydrogen gas in raising balloons.
Black immediately concluded that as water is ice united to a certain quantity of latent heat, so steam is water united to a still greater quantity.
He did not confine his views to the congelation of water alone, but extended them to every case of congelation and liquefaction which he has ascribed equally to the evolution or fixation of latent heat.
He had now, in 1766, greatly added to his claim of merit by his important discovery of latent heat; and he had acquired the esteem of all by the singular moderation and scrupulous caution which marked all his researches.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "latent heat" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
